The Sanctum

I stayed there for a couple of nights. The place is new and clean, at that time it was not even completely open. Neighborhood is quite. I really liked swimming pool. Personnel of the hotel was really nice, especially I liked the food. If you are traveling by bus, the bus stop is just outside the hotel, so you can easily get to Mannar bus station

Nice, Clean and spacious rooms. The hosts was very welcoming and ensured our needs were met. We enjoyed ourselves here and recommend it for anyone visiting the area. Great food made to order...

Staff friendly, food excellent, facilities good.

Everyone was so kind, helpful and friendly. The rooms were meticulous and spacious with a pool to swim in and yummy traditional local cuisine to eat.

Nothing. Everything was amazing.

The rooms were so clean and the colour palette that was chosen was aesthetically pleasing too. They had just built this hotel and it's still been built so we imagine after all it's done, it'll be a place guests will love to stay at. It's one of the better hotels in Mannar.

The only issue was that it's in Talaimannar and 30 minutes to Mannar town itself so you would need a vehicle. Also, I wish there was tea or coffee in the room. There was a kettle but there wasn't any tea or coffee available in the rooms and having that would have been a big plus for them. The resturant is also still been built so once it open, I hope they provide western and local cuisine for the guests like Agape does. Also wish there was a blanket in the room as the sheet wasn't sufficient.

New rooms - cold drink service Great pool Generous Tamil breakfast Bike rental - perfect to see local sights Local bus stops in front of the property - very nice staff to facilitate my onward journey Was able to leave my things in the room for a bit longer which made it easier and smooth with the short time available

Need to arrange transport from the train station prior to arrival - no TukTuks around late. I got picked up by motorbike (thanks to facilitation by kind staff at the station as I had no network/mobile data).

Clean, well equipped, modern hotel with great facilities.

It's located in a run down, out of the way part of Talaimannar.

Clean, fresh, cared for. Everything worked. The staff are fantastic and Niro will provide suggestions for everything including what to see and where to eat. His restaurant recommendation gave us the best meal yet in Sri Lanka which is down near the Dutch Fort in Mannar. We had the chicken fried rice, chilli beef and ghee roti. Ice cream to finish! Loved it! They also filter their own water and provide it free to stay clear of single use plastic.

Would like a small table and chairs in the room but they may have provided it anyway had we asked.
